THIS COMING long weekend the annual Yaroomba Classic will be contested with the prestigious local surfing comp open to competitors from the local region and this year there are some great prizes on offer including 2k in cash!
The beloved event will take place over the October long weekend, from October 5th to 7 with the Yaroomba Classic open to surfers of all ages and skill levels, from 12 and under to over 65s.
With a prize pool exceeding $5,000, the event is expected to attract top-tier surfers from the region.
Coolum Boardriders President Gavin Potter said it was a testament to the Coolum community that the event was still going so strong.
“We’re excited to continue the tradition of the Yaroomba Classic and provide a fun and competitive event for our local surfing community,” Gavin said.
Competitors must live “north of the river” and being an individual event, anyone can enter, you don’t have to be part of a club.
The competition is not just for surfers, but spectators are encouraged to come along and watch all of the action and join in on the fun.
“If you are in the local area please put your name down to join up and meet other like-minded people or just come along and meet some new people who enjoy watching great waves – you don’t have to be a competitor to enjoy the Yaroomba Classic!”
Local sporting events take time, effort and sponsorship and this year, Coolum Boardriders are thrilled to have Jonathon Cameron from Belle Property Noosa Coolum Marcoola as the major sponsor of the Open division.
The event is also supported by a host of local businesses, including The Rock Landscapes, Vissla, Dan Purdie, ECC, Mitre 10, Stagg Automotive, Zambrero, Gage Roads, Kudo Custom, and more.
“One of the highlights of this year’s event will be the custom ‘Yaroomba Classic’ rash guards, designed and produced by Kudo Custom, the official rash guard provider for the World Surf League,” Gav said.
“With the support of our sponsors and the incredible talent in our area, we’re confident that this year’s event will be one to remember.”
